"The Real Me"

Matt.10:32 reads: "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."

Alot of people are coming out of the closet these days. And for those of you who don't really know me, consider this my coming out. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior back shortly after my youngest son was born. I have been growing spuratically but non the less growing. I'm far from perfect and do slip quite often, as people are so quick to point out to me. It seems that once they know you are a Christian you are suppose to be this perfect human being or something. Well it isn't that way. It took me x amount of years to be this person ...it could take the same for God to make me what he wants me to be. But hopefully not.*smile* We all are as filthy rags and will be until the day we join him in the sky.All we can do here is ask him to come into our hearts, confess our sins, Knowing he is just to forgive us those sins, and from that day forth try to live our life accordingly . Finding out what is not pleasing to him and getting rid of it. I still have a long way to go. I still smoke which I know is really bad for me but if you could only see where I was and now where I am you would know Christ is in me.And is changing me. From time to time this will be where I share my thoughts with you on such matters and I pray you come back often and visit me. This could be where we seperate the sheep from the goats and part ways too. But in my real life I have already experienced this so I am prepared for it to happen here also. As those who leave, really weren't my friends to begin with. So for now this is where I will stop and let you digest this for awhile. God Bless!!!
